FRANKLIN, KY, june 27.-This COM
munity is greatly stirred up today
over the enactment Of a double ira.
gedy. Neriah Lewis, the son of a
prominent farmer OF this county,
armed himself this morning, and
mounted his horse, left home declar-
ing he meant to kill some one. Rid
ing by the farm OF VIM. Roach, he
spied his two sons, John and Finus,
working in q field. Dismounting, he
hitched his horse, and without q word
opened fire on the boys, killing John
outright and wounding Finus in the
hand. Then mounting, he rode of in
a gallop, fiourishing his pistol. The
sheriff was promptly notified and went
in hot pursuit, accompanied by large
posse. Lewis was traced to a house
on his fathers farm, the
doors OF which he barred, and
on the arrival Of the sher-
i'll and party saluted them with a
a number OF shots, some Of which
grazad some of the besiegers. After
allowing him % fire about fifty shots
the sheriff, thinking he must be out
OF cartridges, started toward the house
alone. When within few feet Of the
door Lewis raised a window and began
firing The sheriff jumped behind a
post on the porch which Lewis filed
with bullets. Then barring the win
dow. he put the last bal in his own
breast. Lewis mind has been de
ranged for some time, which 10 the
cause Of his strange conduct IS there
had been no trouble Of any kind be-
tween him aud the Roach boys. He
had been living near Paris, Tex, until
a few months ago, where he had &C.
cumulsted large fortune.
LATER-News has just been re.
